We served 650 people in the Church Ministries including widows and orphans in the Churches and out of the Churches within the Dzaleka Refugees Camp in Malawi, Central Africa. There was about over 36.000 people from the different Central, Eastern and Northern Countries in Africa. Since the beginning of this 2015’s calendar year, there is still half cut of food for all refugees in Malawi.
During the last September – October 2015’s visit of Pastor Faustin Alobo in Malawi, Mozambique and Tanzania; many people and Churches expressed their will to join and partner with the ”EFCEM” Headquarters in the United States at that time.
In the Democratic Republic of the Congo(Fizi Zone- South Kivu), the ”EFCEM” was in partnership with the Swahili Baptist Church Des Moines to run its project named:” God’s Love House of Hope ” in the rural town of Baraka, Fizi Zone, South Kivu Province. Even this partnership was open, the Eden Baptist Church- DRC is not responsible for the running of all these mentioned projects.
In Malawi, our organization was partnering with Mponela Baptist Church in Dowa District under the Baptist Convention of Malawi(BACOMA); and did supply rice and beans to people under our ministries at Dzaleka Refugees Camp through the Eden Church Malawi as there is still cut of ration food for the refugees. The Eden Church Malawi is considered as part of the God’s Love House of Hope organization.
In Mozambique, the ”EFCEM” were welcomed by two Churches: The Free Methodist Church of Mozambique, Local Church of Nampula and the Worldwide Church in Mozambique, Local Church of Maratane Refugee Camp which we did support during my last trip there in September 2015.
In Tanzania, we are in partnership with the Gospel Revival Assemblies of God in Iringa Province and the New Harvest Ministries Church of Tanzania at Nyarugusu Refugee Camp, Kasulu/ Kigoma which we did support lastly in September 2015 during my Churches Mission Trip in Africa.
The ‘’EFCEM ‘’ was a Christian not-for-profit organization joining with Churches, Families and Individuals through Opportunities of Orphanage and Elderly Home Projects, Education and Supports their Ministries and Programs, filed in State of Iowa(USA) since October 2015. This Christian organization has its roots from Africa where I had the vision to start it while staying at Dzaleka Refugees Camp in Malawi for almost 10 years as a refugee, originally from the Democratic Republic of the Congo(DRC), and God directed my family members and me to be resettled to the USA in March 2013.
